After
three rounds of talks between Iran, the United States, Russia, China,
France, the United Kingdom, and Germany (known as the P5+1), on the
Iranian nuclear program, no visible progress has been made.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of measurable progress in the
negotiations, there are currently no plans for further negotiations.

This means that starting July 1, a new round of the crippling sanctions which have been imposed on Iran will be become active.

According to some, these sanctions which will include many more potentially devastating measures such as the removal of insurance
from any and all tankers carrying Iranian oil “will bring an end to
nearly all of Iran’s oil sales, sales which account for nearly 80
percent of Iran foreign revenues.”

Furthermore, Homeland Security News Wire reports, “planning, in both Israel and the United States, for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has now shifted to a higher gear.”

sheet. In the second half of the show Max talks to economist, Constantin
Gurdgiev, about intergalactic bailout bonds to the rescue and other
crazy ideas to solve the global debt catastrophe and the significance of
the gold collateral to Germany's idea of a European Redemption Fund. Source

Submitted by Tyler Durden:Infamous for his prediction of the great
recession, Europe's demise, and the collapse of the US financial system
(as well as profiting extremely handsomely from said predictions), so
well captured in Michael Lewis' book "The Big Short", UCLA's Dr. Michael
Burry undertakes UCLA's Economics Department's commencement speech with
much aplomb. In this "age of infinite distraction", the astounding
truthiness of this 15 minute speech is stunning from single-sentence
summation of Europe's convulsions that "when the entitled elect
themselves, the party accelerates, and the brutal hangover is
inevitable" he reminds us that Californians, and indeed all Americans,
should take note. A quarter-of-an-hour well spent from a self-described 'chicken-little' who was "just trying to figure it all out". Source

BRUSSELS — Despite a sovereign debt crisis that threatens to tear the European Union
apart, Iceland is speeding ahead on its bid to join the bloc and even
delivered a pep talk Friday to those struggling to hold it together.

Less than two years after starting membership talks in the wake of its
own banking crisis, Iceland has now finished 10 of the 35 “chapters” of
E.U. laws that new members must work their way through – a pace that
Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said was the fastest for any
country since new rules were adopted in 2006.

Iceland’s foreign minister, Ossur Skarpheoinsson, said the country was
“pressing full steam ahead” despite the “depressed” mood in Brussels,
where officials have been trying for more than two years to contain the
sovereign debt crisis that threatens to undermine not only the 17-nation
euro area but the entire 27-nation E.U. itself.

Mr. Skarpheoinsson expressed optimism the crisis would be solved, as
well he should: Each new E.U. member must agree to give up its currency
and adopt the euro eventually.

“It is a vote of confidence, and you are listening to someone who is
coming from a country that has gone through the worst crisis,” Mr.
Skarpheoinsson said at a news conference following the latest round of
membership talks.

He advised the Europeans to face their current difficulties “just like
we in Iceland encounter snow storms: Zip up, pull the hood and brave the
storm. In the end we know that the day returns to calm and sunshine.” (reading between the lines? if you have the balls not to bail out your local banksters)

(NaturalNews) The economic situation in Greece is only continuing to
worsen, as reports indicate that hospitals and care centers throughout
the nation are running completely out of medicines, and many healthcare
workers are now voluntarily providing care services without pay. (Picture right: Mario Drag Race by Banzai7)Strapped
with spiraling debt, the Greek healthcare, which is government-run, has
had to receive gobs of international financial aid just to keep
operating with some semblance of normalcy. There has also been plenty of
IOUs issued, and desperate patients quietly forking over cash "gifts"
to doctors to receive treatments. All in all, the healthcare situation
is in utter chaos, save for those that have sacrificed their own time,
often free of charge, just to help those in need.

As we reported here at NaturalNews
back in 2010, Big Pharma had already been withholding drugs from Greece
because of the country's inability to pay for them. Greek authorities
had tried to negotiate with drug companies to lower the exorbitant costs
associated with drugs, and some complied. But many others simply
stopped shipping in medicines, leaving thousands of ill patients without
any options.

Symbolism! Dontcha just love it? Even the three-letter abbreviations for
the world's airports convey a resonant message for the goofy
Gaia-worshipers here in Rio de Janeiro for the conference on
"sustainable development" (whatever that may mean). Flights still follow
the old colonial patterns, so it is easier to fly to Rio (GIG from
Madrid (MAD) than from London. Entertainingly, the bag-tag on my
suitcase bore the legend MAD GIG --a deftly synoptic description of the
leftfest on Brazil's once-fashionable coast.

Speaking at a Brussels conference back in April 2011, Eurogroup
President Jean Claude Juncker notably stated during a panel
discussion that "when it becomes serious, you have to lie." He was
referring to situations where the act of "pre-indicating" decisions
on eurozone policy could fuel speculation that could harm the
markets and undermine their policies' effectiveness.1
Everyone understands that the authorities sometimes lie in order to
promote calm in the markets, but it was unexpected to hear such a
high-level official actually admit to doing so. They're
not supposed to admit that they lie. It is also somewhat
disconcerting given the fact that virtually every economic event we
have lived through since that time can very easily be described as
"serious". Bank runs in Spain and Greece are indeed "serious", as
is the weak economic data now emanating from Europe, the US and
China. Should we assume that the authorities have been lying more
frequently than usual over the past year?

When former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan denied and down-played
the US housing bubble back in 2004 and 2005, the market didn't
realize how wrong he was until the bubble burst in 2007-2008. The
same applies to the current Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, when he
famously told US Congress in March of 2007 that "At this juncture…
the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the
problems in the subprime markets seems likely to be
contained."2 They weren't necessarily lying, per se,
they just underestimated the seriousness of the problem. At this
point in the crisis, however, we are hard pressed to believe
anything uttered by a central planner or financial authority
figure. How many times have we heard that the eurozone crisis has
been solved? And how many times have we heard officials flat out
lie while the roof is burning over their heads?

The mad scientist arm of the Department of Defense known as the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is well known for
engaging in truly mind-bending research and development projects.

Germany and Greece faced off today in the Eurocup 2012 with German
newspapers pushing headlines like "bye Greeks, we can't save you today."
But can anyone in Europe save the monetary union from itself? Mario (three card)
Monti, Italy's technocrat prime minister says there is only one week
left to do it, but looking back at older headlines, it appears there
have been many times Europe had only "one week left," or "ten days
left." What's up with that?

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
